Corel Painter Help | Assigning or removing color profiles

Assigning or removing color profiles

You can change the appearance of a document by assigning a new color profile. A color profile contains the data that the color management system requires to translate colors from one color space to another. The default color profile for Corel Painter is sRGB IEC61966-2-1 noBPC, but you can choose from a list of Standard ICC color profiles.

When you assign a new profile, the color values, or numbers, in the document do not change. When you enable color management and display a document, the colors in the document represent an interpretation of the assigned color profile. For more information, see Should I assign or convert color profiles?.

You can also remove an assigned color profile from a document. In other words, color management is no longer applied to the document. The color values are retained, however.

To assign or remove a color profile

1 Choose Canvas

Assign Profile.

2 Enable one of the following color profile options:

• Use Default RGB Profile — applies the default RGB profile to the document

• Use Profile — applies a color profile to the document but does not convert the original colors. If you enable this option, you must choose a color profile.

• Do Not Color Manage — retains the color values without associating them with a color profile

If you have color profiles installed on your computer, Corel Painter includes them in the list of available color profiles.

You can also assign a color profile from the Navigator panel by clicking the Open Navigator Settings button , clicking Color Management, and choosing Assign Profile.
